Query author contributions in Reactome

Reactome depends on collaboration between our curation team and outside experts to assemble and peer-review its pathway modules. The integration of ORCID within Reactome enables us to meet a key challenge with authoring, curating and reviewing biological information by incentivizing and crediting the external experts that contribute their expertise and time to the Reactome curation process. More information is available at ORCID and Reactome.

If you have an ORCID ID that is not listed on this page, please forward this information to us and we will update your Reactome pathway records.

commentFUNCTION Plays a role in efficient localization of neo-synthesized capsids to nuclear replication compartments, thereby controlling cleavage and packaging of virus genomic DNA (PubMed:29875246). Facilitates thereby the transfer of newly replicated viral genomes to the packaging motor (PubMed:33554858).SUBUNIT Forms a homopentameric ring.SUBCELLULAR LOCATION Localizes to viral replication compartments.DISRUPTION PHENOTYPE Deletion mutants maintain viral DNA replication and late gene expression but does not produce infectious virions. In addition, viral DNA is not cleaved after replication.SIMILARITY Belongs to the herpesviridae UL32 protein family.
